Abstract

This chapter explores ‘historical interpretation’, a curriculum concept at the centre of historical reasoning and history education, although one that is often neglected. The nature of historical interpretation is clarified, and key aspects of the concept are explained and illustrated. The challenges that learning about interpretation can present for students are identified and explored and four activity types, designed to help students of various ages to develop their understanding of the concept are explained.
